2 Chronicles 18:1–3, “Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.”
Even though Jehoshaphat honoured and obeyed the Lord, he made an alliance with Ahab, the king who took the northern kingdom, Israel, to a level of godlessness unknown before. Ahab treated Jehoshaphat with respect and treated him to a royal reception. However, Ahab persuaded Jehoshaphat to join him in war against the Syrians to the north.
